With just one week left in the regular season, The Syracuse men's lacrosse team took over the No. 1 spot in the Nike/Inside Lacrosse Media Poll and the USILA Coaches Poll on Monday. Undefeated Notre Dame, one of SU's future Big East rivals, is No. 2 in both polls.

The Orange men beat UMass, 10-3, on Saturday to improve to a record of 11-2 on the season. Syracuse was No. 1 for three weeks earlier this season in the coaches' rankings before losing to Virginia in February. The Cavaliers maintained a stronghold on the top spot in the polls for much of the season, but they have tumbled to No. 4/5 after a loss to Duke.

SU's last regular-season game is on Saturday against Colgate at the Carrier Dome.
